Thread: LastOS

Had anyone looked at or used LastOS?

It's a preconfigured Windows OS build. It boots the DVD or USB stick into whichever Windows build you have picked, including Windows 11. It then let's you configure the build before installing the OS.

I assume it's not licensed (ie cracked or some other way in which the activation stuff is bypassed)?

Don't think I've heard of that, but it looks like a good idea.

It does seem like a good idea. I'm not averse to acquiring software from friendly buccaneers on the high seas, but I am curious about the leagality of it and how/if that's been worked around.

I've not tried it yet so unsure if it comes "unlocked" or if you need a license key.

Using Rufus to write the Last11.Pro.x64.PE_2022H2.iso to a USB Stick & Windows10 Pro threw a wobbly about a Virus.....

Meh.jpg

G: is the 8GB USB Stick I'm writing the "ISO" to....
I have allowed the file in Windows Defender....

An awful lot of Magic Smoke leaked out of my A1200 last weekend.....

Need to investigate tomorrow.....

I created a bootable USB Stick from the front end of software. If you try using <driveletter> with : after it, no dice. Just the actual letter in a DOS window? - Now there's a royal screw up!

With what is written to the USB Stick, it just sits there with the blue Windows Logo & does nothing.

I needed a re-install anyhow so no big heartache.... but not with Last OS.

The possibility of having to mess around, and still maybe end up with it not working, is why I generally don't bother much these days with things like hooky software or modz

I won't bother trying this out then. Shame. There are other projects to build a slipstreamed install.

Indeed. - Even those programs to hack up the MS Install for a customisable install can really mess up big time.
